If you observe the news, you've probably seen the recent rise in street assaults. Even those who have self defense instruction or are counting on their 'tough' appearance to dissuade an attacker are not immune to violent crimes. No matter how cautious you are, it is impossible to completely avoid the chance of a violent assault. With this in mind, here are 7 things you have to know to survive a violent attack:

1. The attack will happen quickly. This is particularly true if you're not paying attention to what is going on, allowing someone to sneak up behind you unobserved. A scenario can transform from two strangers passing on a dark alley to you being on the ground, the target of a violent crime, in seconds.

2. Street self defense isn't like a movie fight. Too many people think that real fights happen like the choreographed fights they see on TV. It won't be that simple. Your attacker has come prepared for a fight, and will not give up effortlessly. Real fighting isn't pretty, and you will probably end up wounded no matter who wins. If you must physically fight your way away from an assailant, don't expect to simply use memorized kicks or punches.

3. Fighting back requires a quick response in a moment of fear. Even those whose self defense techniques are well practiced find that during the moment an attack begins, they are frozen with fear. As your heart is racing, you'll need to intuitively move into action to protect yourself. Surviving requires putting up a fight instantly.

4. Your defense is up to you. In your instance of need, you can't count on a police officer being close enough to assist you while the assault is in progress. You are your own first line of defense, and you must be prepared for this.

5. Getting away requires control of the scenario. If you are found unaware by a surprise attack and are never able to get your attacker's hands off you, you have no method to get away. A self defense device like pepper spray will offer a clear benefit when it comes to gaining power over the assailant. To stand the best chance of escape, get the upper hand by using self defense products against your attacker.

6. Take for granted you're fighting an armed assailant. Clearly, this isn't always the case, but it often is. Being up against a knife or gun is one of the scariest possible scenarios, but it happens hundreds of times each day. This is another scenario in which carrying a stun gun or pepper spray canister is particularly helpful, enabling you to level the playing field by providing you a way to fight off the attacker, dropping your likelihood of injuries.

7. Escaping the scenario requires fighting dirty. When you're assaulted, there's no such thing as a “fair fight” or a “clean fight.” Use anything you have to your advantage. If you aren't carrying a self defense product, use your car keys, your fingernails, and anything else you can think of.
